The existential self in Gabriel Marcel: a critical analysis of autonomy through heteronomy
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The philosophical approach known as existentialism is commonly recognized for its view that all of the experiences and interactions of life are meaningless. Many existentialist thinkers are led to conclude that life is ...
Design and development of a DC-DC converter for a fuel cell inverter system
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis outlines the design and development of a DC-DC converter for a fuel cell inverter application. The proposed DC-DC converter was designed and tested at Texas A&M to meet the specifications laid down for the ...
Seismic interpretation and regional geologic correlation established for offshore Togo, West Africa: a preliminary evaluation of hydrocarbon potential in deep water
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Offshore Togo, West Africa provides exciting potential for hydrocarbon exploration. Previous exploration is limited to four wells, drilled prior to 1986 in shallow water. This investigation focuses on a 625 km² section ...
Mitigating Denial of Service using QoS regulation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
As more and more critical services are provided over the Internet, the risk to these services from malicious users is also increasing. Several networks have witnessed problems like Denial of Service attacks over the recent ...

Experimental and numerical analysis of a deepwater mini-TLP
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
As the quest for oil and gas resources drives the industry to ever deeper waters, model testing still represents an essential step after numerical modeling when designing offshore platforms in these hostile environments. ...
Observations of remote and local forcing in Galveston Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A high quality set of 321 days of sea level and wind records and of 126 days of current records, from winter to spring, has been used to examine the relative importance of remote and local forcing on the subtidal response ...
The inventory, seasonality and stoichiometry of the major phosphorus pools in the Sargasso Sea
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Between 1995 and 1997 samples were gathered on 31 cruises at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Site (BATS) for the measurement of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and particulate organic ...
Native and exotic freshwater turtle and tortoise trade in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Because the commercial trade in turtles has been considered one of the most dangerous and rapid causes of turtle population declines, it needs to be closely monitored and managed. To quantitatively describe the turtle trade ...
Shear capacity of dapped ended steel plate girders
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of the project was to investigate the shear capacity of dapped ended steel plate girders. Dapped girders with no intermediate transverse-stiffeners between the bearing stiffener and the first interior diaphragm ...
